CMB Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 When I received my Suton brush after winning it on Ebay I was a little annoyed to find a previous owner had glued the tow hitch to the body, as I had worked out you could have it in different positions. I had a look underneath, and there seems to be some circular retaining clip or spring missing. Does anyone know where I can get one of these (short of pirating a complete one) or what is the best alternative? I looked for some small washers in my local Travis Perkins then a plumbers supply shop, but nothing would fit .. Quote
CMB Posted August 22, 2008 Author Posted August 22, 2008 hi mate i have a complete new one Can you see what attaches the drawbar to the body? Is it a spring or what? Quote
Kiwi6920 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Can you see what attaches the drawbar to the body? Is it a spring or what? Its a Very small circlip with a small spring, mine has been glued as i poped the circlip off and lost it Quote
powerrabbit Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 The grip washer that pushes over the pin under the yard brush is the same ones that are on the Acrobat hay rake, handle on the Mule-dozer and quite a lot of other Britain's implements of that period with moving parts, if I think of any more they're on I'll let you know. The spring is easy to replace, cut down an old ballpoint pen spring. Quote
Tractorman810 Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 have a look in halfords, as they do small clips ect like those, as for spring same as tim said really,otherwise if your going to spalding or toytrac, have a gander in the scrap parts bozes most sellers have, bound to be a broken mueldoze linkage or similar in one always is when i have looked Quote
